Don’t befriend the poor if you’d like to succeed – Portable to Fans
Portable, the Nigerian singer, has advised his fans to not be friends with the poor if they want to be successful.
The singer, who has been reflecting on the year in a series of posts via his Instagram story, shared what he says are the biggest lessons he learned in 2023.
He told his fans that in the coming year, they should avoid close associations with poor people.
According to him, to achieve success, one must associate with the rich.
“Omo iya mi I don learn lesson,” he began in a mash of Yoruba and Pidgin English.
“When you want to go far, do not walk with poor people. Do not make friends with poor people.
“You can help the poor but do not stay with poor people.
“Do not roll with poor people. When you make friends with poor people, you will always be poor.
“When you roll with big people, you are big. Do you understand?
“Rich people do not envy poor people, they only help poor people but poor people will envy rich people.
“So try make you dey roll with rich people.”
